A CITY HIJAUTIFUL IT IS tho function of the nrtlst, Bays Anatolo Franco In "Tho Gar don of Epicures," to lovo llfo and nliow us that it 1b beautiful. Without kim wo might well doubt tho fact. It Is" tho function of the artist to bo tho oyes for us, to bo ears for us, to catch upon tho plate of his senses (vibrations of color or sound to which our own docs not bo vividly respond. It is then tho function of all or us to follow tho example of tho nrtlst In contributing our quota to tho bomi llful in llfo. To add to it tho en vironment of our dally lives. The, artist is always a discoverer, nnd finds for us Idlunds nnd seas of oxporlqnco of which but for him wo should remain unpossessed. Tho great ercativo artistB, Michael Angola, Itodln, Ilombrnut, Hitch, Uccthoven, "Vugnor, Whistler, Mnnet and tho Im pressionists, liavo not tnoroly given vi great masterpieces. Thoy hnvo' given us now eyes, new oars. They hnvo not moroly created works of art. Thoy havo created us. Thoy not only discovered n rlchor llfo for thoin solves. Thoy havo holped us to po ssess it oursolverf. iWhcu Jllnnot pnlutod tho violet shadow, ho created for tho world oyes that could and do nou tho violet shadows undor certain conditions of light. The nature wo bgo today is not tho unturo wo saw boforo tho ImprosaloulHts gave iib now eyes to seo effects of light nnd color which had existed since tlmo hognu, but existed unscon bocauso wo had not oyoH attentive to seo them. Tills Is not illusion. It Is tho dis covery of now realities. Tho dream city of tho San Fran cisco exposition, a creation of artists, gavo ovory hoholdorn gllmpso of new glories in city buildings. With a charm, that Is original In Itself, with natural landscape and tienscapo that cannot bo duplicated, Mnrshflold has tho possibilities of ouo of tho most beautiful places on tho Pacific coast. It Is up to tho men ud women and tho boys nnd girls, o futiiro moil and women, hero to tip make it such u city. It Is for such a purpose that Tho ,mefl Is offering prizes for the best uggestloiiB along practical Hues that will contribute to such a result. Nowhero in tho world will flowors grow and flourish bo quickly and with bo llttio euro as on Coos Hay. Thorn Is n grout opportunity hero to make u city bountiful that should not ho neglected. Our duty is plain, W'a should not shrink it. Tho tlmo to begin In NOW. r A REGISTER IT CANNOT bo repented too oftau, nor ton forcibly emphasized, that it you dnstro to tuko part In tho votnlng priiuurlcs, or cast your ballot this fall, you must bo roglstorod, This 'fur thorn bus been but little atten tion pa'Al to this vital essential of us IDU -tho rights of frauehtso. Lot it bo understood that this Is a final registration, not necessary agnln, un less ouo moves from ouo picclnct to nuothor, In which case only tho iiccoh sury elinngo is needed, nnd It Is be lieved that mora interest will bo shown. It is but llttio trouble mid no oxnonso attached, mid it is one of tho absolute safogunrds of tho ballot, us nearly iib such sufety can bo nssiired. From tho records nt thy registration orflro, It Is soon that the proportion of women voters who ure making themselves eligible to participate In tho elect Ion, Is not In proportion of tho sexes ot legal ago. either In tho elty or county. It In t'speelnlly urged upon tho woman that they show tbolr lutorost In pub lic affairs by taking that first move -which is essential, if thoy doalro tholr Interest to bo of any actual nvnll. This la not urged us u party meaauro, but tho appeal is nindo la every cltizon, men and women allko go and muko youisoir legally fit at u votor by registering, mid do not put it off nn longor.

IIOIHIINU TIIK COMMUNITY" M' ANY n backward Oregon com munity contains olio or two or moro Individuals, men or wo men or both, who through upbring ing and education and natural talent hnro capable or serving In capacities that are difficult for tho person not so oquippod. Sometimes bucU Indi viduals offer thoniBOlves for public sorvice: usually, however, they aro 1 roftlrlng and nro easily frightened out. 1 Give them a chance. Don't always ask yourself "what Is ho nftor?" when a man tries to pro mote what looks like a good commun ity niovomont. A good mnny Amer cans hnvo really socialized Instincts. Don't Btnnd back and wonder nnd suspect and knock and griimblo and pick flaws and flnnlly opposo. Your community Is a loser for ovory day It Is without the services of the In dividual described.

Hobhs, THE HOUSE OF DREAMS Iloyond tho hills, behind tho dawn, across tho Seventh sen, Thoro Is a moonlit garden, hiss, that waits for you and me.

THE DIFFERENCE Tho changes made by tlmo onrngn, Hut there's no way to lienl It. A Coos Hay woman hates to look her ago, A Coos Hay man hates to fool it.

A Coos liny woman nuvor fools so comfortable an whon over) thing oho Is wearing Is too tight. A Coob Hay ulrl run havo n cold ln bar hand nnd look nlco oiioiikIi to kits.
